FutureGrid

FutureGrid provides a capability
that makes it possible for researchers to tackle complex research
challenges in computer science related to the use and security of grids
and clouds. These include topics ranging from authentication,
authorization, scheduling, virtualization, middleware design, interface
design and cybersecurity, to the optimization of grid-enabled and
cloud-enabled computational schemes for researchers in astronomy,
chemistry, biology, engineering, atmospheric science and epidemiology.
The project team will provide a significant new experimental computing
grid and cloud test-bed, named FutureGrid, to the research community,
together with user support for third-party researchers conducting
experiments on FutureGrid.
